I help students build confidence and clarity in Algebra, Geometry, and SAT Math through expert instruction, strategy, and personalized coaching. Families appreciate my clear explanations, patient approach, and structured lessons that help students grow quickly and feel supported.

Many students begin with a single starter session so we can identify their strengths, learning gaps, and create a plan that makes math feel manageable. I welcome students at all levels, including those who feel behind, overwhelmed, or anxious about math.

As an award-winning math educator and certified instructional coach, I bring more than a decade of classroom and leadership experience to every session. Parents choose me when they want structure, strategy, and measurable growth—not just homework help.

Recognized for excellence in math instruction and student achievement, I’ve served as Department Chair, Academic Coach, and Teacher of the Year nominee. My background allows me to quickly pinpoint learning gaps, design targeted lessons, and guide students toward mastery through clear explanations and high-impact practice.

Each session follows a results-driven model: diagnostic review → guided instruction → targeted practice → confidence coaching. Students leave with strategies they can use immediately in class and on exams.

If you’re ready for a professional, personalized, and proven tutoring experience, let’s schedule a trial session and build your student’s success plan.

New students can usually begin within the week. Send a message and we can schedule a starter session that fits your schedule.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I help students build strong Algebra 1 mastery with clear instruction, targeted practice, and measurable progress. We start by identifying the exact skills causing missed points, then focus on the highest-impact topics such as linear equations and inequalities, systems, functions, and quadratics. Sessions include guided problem-solving, error-pattern correction, and test prep, with clear between-session practice so students become more accurate and confident over time.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I help students master Algebra 2 with clear instruction, targeted practice, and measurable progress. We start by identifying the exact skills causing missed points, then focus on the highest-impact topics such as functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic), complex numbers, sequences, and conic sections. Sessions include guided problem-solving, error-pattern correction, and test prep, with clear between-session practice so students become more accurate and confident over time.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a certified K–12 teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching elementary grades in both public and private schools. I have taught all core subjects in grades K–6, with a focus on building strong foundations in math, reading, and writing. My lessons integrate age-appropriate strategies such as phonics, guided reading, math manipulatives, and hands-on problem solving to make learning engaging and effective. I tailor each session to the child’s needs, close learning gaps, and help students gain the skills and confidence needed for long-term success.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

As a certified educator with over ten years of classroom experience, I specialize in helping elementary students build strong mathematical foundations. I’ve worked with students from diverse backgrounds and learning profiles, including gifted learners, English language learners, and students with IEPs or 504 plans. My sessions are designed to strengthen number sense, build fluency, and boost confidence in problem-solving. Whether your child is working on basic operations, fractions, word problems, or early algebraic thinking, I tailor instruction to their pace and learning style — helping them grow into capable, independent math thinkers.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I support students in developing executive functioning skills through clear systems for planning, organizing materials, managing time, and following through on tasks. My experience as an Academic Math Coach and former department chair has allowed me to work closely with learners who struggle with routines, transitions, and academic overwhelm. I teach students practical strategies they can apply each day to increase productivity and reduce stress. Families notice greater independence, accountability, and consistency in school and at home.
Geometry

Geometry

I help students build Geometry mastery with clear instruction, targeted practice, and measurable progress. We focus on the skills that typically drive grades and test performance, including angle relationships, triangles, similarity and congruence, circles, coordinate geometry, and proofs. Sessions emphasize diagram literacy, step-by-step reasoning, and error-pattern correction so students become more accurate, confident, and efficient on quizzes and exams.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I guide students through the essential bridge between arithmetic and algebra, covering integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percents, and basic equations. My approach ensures students feel confident and fully prepared to succeed in Algebra 1.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I help students build a strong foundation in functions, trigonometry, limits, and algebraic reasoning that prepares them for Calculus and advanced coursework. My background as an Academic Math Coach allows me to break down challenging concepts into clear, step by step explanations that improve accuracy and confidence. Students learn how to analyze problems, avoid common errors, and apply strategies that support success in class, on exams, and in SAT Math.
Probability

Probability

I teach probability concepts in a way that’s clear and practical. Students learn how to calculate probabilities, interpret outcomes, and understand combinations, permutations, independent and dependent events, and expected value — skills that connect directly to real-world applications and advanced math courses.
Reading

Reading

I support students in building stronger comprehension, vocabulary, and evidence based reading skills. I teach strategies that help learners understand main ideas, track details, make inferences, and respond to text with clarity. My approach is structured, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. Students become more confident readers and gain tools they can use across subjects.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I provide structured Digital SAT Math prep focused on measurable score gains through accuracy and pacing. We begin with a diagnostic to pinpoint your highest-impact gaps, then follow a weekly plan targeting the SAT’s most-tested skills (algebra, advanced math, data analysis, and geometry/trig). Timed practice, error-pattern tracking, and strategy coaching are built into every session, with clear assignments between meetings.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I provide structured Digital SAT Reading and Writing prep focused on accuracy, pacing, and higher-yield question types. We start with a quick diagnostic to identify your biggest point leaks, then target the skills that move scores fastest: main idea and function, inference and evidence, vocabulary in context, and grammar and expression. Every session includes timed practice, strategy coaching, and an error log so students stop repeating the same mistakes. Students leave with clear between-session assignments and a plan leading up to test day.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I coach middle school and high school students to study more effectively by building practical systems for organization, planning, and test preparation. This is ideal for students managing heavier workloads (honors/AP, multiple classes, or SAT prep) who need consistent routines and follow-through. We set up a simple weekly structure the student can run independently: assignment tracking, prioritization, time-blocking, and test planning, with clear between-session tasks so progress is measurable and sustainable.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have more than fifteen years of experience helping students master trigonometry, including right triangle relationships, the unit circle, identities, and modeling problems. My background as an Academic Math Coach allows me to simplify challenging concepts and strengthen problem solving skills quickly. Students gain clarity, confidence, and consistent accuracy through structured lessons and targeted practice. I prepare learners for classroom success, state exams, and SAT style trigonometry questions.

Knowledgeable and patient

My son has had many tutors over the years, but none have connected with him the way Fanta does. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and has a special way of making learning feel easy and comfortable for him. Luke looks forward to his sessions and doesn’t want to work with anyone else but her. Since working with Fanta, he’s gained so much confidence, not just academically, but in how he approaches learning overall. Her patience and ability to meet him where he’s at have truly made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Crystal. Working with Luke has been such a joy. Watching his confidence and skill grow each week is exactly why I love what I do. I truly appreciate your trust and partnership in his learning journey. Warmly, Fanta

Amazing!

Fanta is helping my 8th grader with Algebra 1 and after only one lesson, her confidence has skyrocketed!! We most definitely will continue to use her throughout high school and beyond!

Thank you so much, Lisa. It has been wonderful working with your daughter and watching her confidence grow so quickly. I’m so proud of the effort she’s already putting into Algebra, and I’m excited to keep building on her momentum throughout the school year. Warmly, Fanta

Great Tutor

I worked with Fanta to prepare for the SAT Math section, and it changed how I felt about math completely. Before we started, I was overwhelmed by word problems and felt stuck when I did not understand something right away. Fanta broke things down in a way that finally made sense. She did not just teach me how to get the right answers. She helped me build confidence and showed me how to approach each question calmly and strategically. When I took the SAT, I actually felt ready. My math score went up by over 100 points, and I left the test feeling proud. If you want a tutor who is both smart and genuinely supportive, I highly recommend her.
